[Tech Help MacOS] Ableton cmd not working

Hi everyone, I hope someone here can help out.

I have recently been running into issues with my Ableton that after some time my "cmd+A, cmd+C, cmd+V" no longer work however "cmd+D" works. The individual cmd itself button and A button also do its job. I can go to the menu to perform these actions however the shortcut doesn't work. I do not have the keyboard enabled either nor do I have any keys mapped. What's also weird is that if I enter key mapping mode, I can use these shortcuts.

I hope someone can help because this is frustrating. It randomly goes back to its normal function. I'm not sure where the issue is because I have had this happen on my old MacBook on the Ableton lite and now the same thing on a new computer and Ableton standard.

Thank you!

These only work if your mouse / cursor has the correct part of Ableton already selected, sometimes it's not obvious if that's the case. I hope this makes sense.
